"I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth." -John F. Kennedy, May 25, 1961
This 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission leads one to marvel at the great feats of man, and how we are capable of so much. JFK clearly stated the goal years beforehand, and somehow, a group of individuals collaborated their genius and made it happen. Humans walking on a celestial body over 200,000 miles away for the first time ever - and they made it home safely. Is Mars next?
